Supressed TSH and bone density

[Guest guest]

I just thought I would report that after being on Armour for 9

months, I had a bone density scan done, because my doctor said he

wanted to cover his butt. My last TSH in January was .006. Well,

the results were that my bone density measured 2 standard deviations

ABOVE other women my age (49) and 1 1/2 standard deviations ABOVE a

30 year old! He wants me to do one each year, which is o.k. with

me. But the results sure take the pressure off in terms of

increasing my dose as needed. Hopefully, they will ease someone

else's mind about suppressed TSH. If anyone is considering this test

to ease their mind, it is the easiest test ever. You literally just

have to lie down.
